This Moroccan Lamb Stew with Chickpeas can be made on the stove pot, instant pot or slow cooker and contains less than 10 ingredients that your sure to have in your kitchen.

WHAT IS MORROCAN LAMB STEW

Moroccan lamb stew is made with cubed lamb, tomatoes, potatoes or chickpeas.

It is then seasoned with a special selection of spices. That can be found at almost every grocery store in the spice isle. 

My favorite spice blend for this dish is bought at our local Superstore. (See below) = Moroccan Seasoning

The spices in this seasoning are; cinnamon, allspice, bay leaves, turmeric, cloves, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg and more!

You can omit the chickpeas if you desired and replace them with cubed potatoes. 

I like it both ways but do tend to make it this way more often.

Because the chickpeas really compliment the eggplant well.
